Actor Park Sung Hoon is getting ready to return to the small screen with a new romantic comedy!
According to a report by SPOTV News on March 26, Park Sung Hoon is in discussions to take on the male lead role in the upcoming drama Efficient Dating of Single Men and Women.
This drama, based on a popular webtoon, follows the love lives of modern singles who seek efficiency in relationships—where love alone isn't enough, but just having good conditions doesn't feel right either.
Han Ji Min, who recently starred in Love Scout, has also been offered the female lead role and is currently reviewing it.
If both actors confirm their roles, this would mark a fresh on-screen pairing between the two, who also happen to be from the same agency.
Earlier this year, Park Sung Hoon gained major attention for his role in Squid Game Season 2 on Netflix. However, he also faced controversy after accidentally posting explicit adult content on his social media.
Despite multiple apologies, public backlash remained strong, and he was eventually dropped from his previously scheduled drama, The Tyrant’s Chef.
At the time, the production team stated, "After extensive discussions, we have decided that it would be difficult to proceed with this project together."
They added, "Although Park Sung Hoon has conveyed his apologies multiple times and engaged in careful discussions, we have ultimately decided to go our separate ways."
Now, all eyes are on whether Park Sung Hoon can bounce back from the controversy and make a successful comeback with this new romantic comedy!
